Adjusting right there the crown that had been knocked askew, Phalguna spoke to the king: "May this world now be beheld enough by you!" Hearing this, in fury, [Bhagadatta] poured down a rain of arrows upon the Pandava and Govinda beside him, having seized his shining bow. Partha, having broken his bow and knocked off his quivers, swiftly smote him with seventy-two arrows in all his vital points.

"May this world now be beheld enough by you" — beneath the courtesy of these words lies a grim forewarning: look your last. A warrior's speech clothes a sentence in an almost gentle form, and in this lies a particular severity. Setting his crown straight in the midst of battle, Arjuna displays complete self-possession. It is significant that he forewarns the enemy of his fate rather than striking him unaware. The verse teaches that even the direst forewarning of death may sound courteous — nobility does not lose its form even in passing sentence; that true composure sets a knocked-askew crown straight without losing the thread of battle; and that a warrior of honor precedes the fatal blow, as if giving the opponent a moment to bid farewell to the world — for even toward a doomed enemy he turns not as toward prey, but as toward one worthy, whose hour has come.
